"Bluegrass band Cherryholmes tours highbrow venues"

This just in from Reuters/Canada.com:

"Festivals have long been the bread and butter of any bluegrass act's career, but
the band Cherryholmes is taking a novel approach by hitting the
performing-arts-center circuit."

You don't say. What brilliant, cutting-edge performing arts series would present a show like that?

Jere Cherryholmes, or "Dad" as he might be called in the Cherryholmes family, had this to say about the group's new venues:

". . . the setting at these newer shows is very different from that of
festivals, where people tend to mill around. Performing-arts audiences, on the
other hand, are seated and quiet."

OK, there is some truth in that statement, but Jere should come to one of our Chieftains performances. Quiet they ain't. Read all of Bluegrass band Cherryholmes tours highbrow venues.

So I recommend you come and hear Cherryholmes at Sanders Theatre on March 2. Twelve days later on March 14, The Chieftains play Symphony Hall. Should make for an interesting comparison, not to mention a foot-stomping March (pun intended).
